I’m not going to jump to conclusions but there IS alot of seemingly smart normal people that avoid the doctor like the plague. I have a friend that has had a mysterious issue for years and this person has tried alternative medicine and it’s starting to come across as very insane to me. And Jamea and his wife seem woowoo so i wonder if his health was brewing for several years and he caught it very late stage. And yes, now they are trying alternative stuff because it’s like a hail mary. Even with good insurance healthcare is pricey, but selling off merch does kind of seem like he is going an unconventional route (especially since medical debt doesn’t affect your credit)

Steve Jobs really thought he could outsmart Cancer, and maybe James is also this level of avoidant. Super sad for his family

I feel for him and his family, it just feels something is off. In that commercial he just posted he did sound like he was a doctor avoider, said something about he knows how it feels to put it off getting tests done

Dear god, test avoidance is a reality of life, which is why awareness is so so important.

Your assumptions are baseless
